Air Fryer Jelly Donuts (Soft, Fluffy, No-Deep-Fry)


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers)
  • ¼ cup fruit jam or jelly (raspberry, strawberry, or apricot work well)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional: 1 tbsp melted butter (for richer finish)
For filling (if using a piping tip):
  • Small piping bag or plastic bag with corner snipped

Instructions

  1. Prep donuts: Separate biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your palm. Place ½ tsp jam in the center of each. Fold edges over to enclose, pinching seams tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  3. Cook: Lightly spray air fryer basket with oil. Place donuts in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Spray tops lightly with oil or brush with melted butter.
  4. Air fry 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Cool 2–3 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar while still warm.
  6. Serve immediately—best fresh!
💡 Pro Tips:
Seal well to prevent jam leakage.
– For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the dough before shaping.
– No jam? Fill with chocolate hazelnut spread or lemon curd!
